TIBA would be hosting its first Annual General Meeting in Durban, South Africa on May 29-31. This meeting will bring together all investigators from the ten partner countries as well as stakeholders and associates. This will be a crucial meeting for deciding on how to progress the rest of the TIBA project. Professor Moses Chimbari (TIBA Co-Deputy Ddirector) and the TIBA South African team will be hosting this event.

The TIBA Partnership is organising a two day ‘Advanced Research Ethics Workshop’ at Mendel Training Centre in Harare from 8-9 February 2018. The workshop which is being hosted by the Medical Research Council of Zimbabwe (MRCZ), is supported through a grant from the UK BBSRC GCRF Impact Acceleration Award to the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with the initiative on Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa (TIBA).

UKZN College of Health Sciences’ Dean of Research, Professor Moses Chimbari has been appointed as a co-deputy director of the Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa (TIBA) project, a £7million high impact and stakeholder-driven project.

The project is led by the University of Edinburgh and involves nine African countries, namely: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania and Sudan. In Swahili the word tiba means "to cure infection".
